The Russians think the Ukrainians 'invaded' historical Russian territory. So by sheer existence the Ukrainians are occupiers.
I mean. Look at that statement. The mental gymnastics required for anyone to think that statement makes any degree of sense is unreal.

I mean.... the only country Saddam occupied was Kuwait. Kuwait was basically never a real country until the Brittish decided to set up a client state in Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq) to protect their assets in the region. Saddam just saw it as taking back what was rightfully his.
Just for the record, I think Saddam is a pile of garbage and he was wrong. Still, as Locke indicated, politicians go through any and all kinds of mental gymnastics in order to justify the occupation of another country.
